In response to House Republicans fleeing the Capitol and beginning the August recess early to avoid the release of the Epstein files, South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Christale Spain released the following statement:
“Rather than grow a backbone and stand up for what’s right, Republicans are fleeing the Capitol to avoid releasing the Epstein files to protect Donald Trump. South Carolinians elected Republicans to deliver results, not to protect predators and take extended vacations on the taxpayers’ dime. After passing the biggest reverse Robin Hood wealth redistribution in American history with Trump’s budget betrayal, South Carolinians know that Republicans are back to only protecting the rich and the powerful.”
